Chapter Sixty-Eight: Continuing the Mission
All the way back, there were no accidents. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info although walking alone seems a little lonely, and there are bandits around. However, Kevin believes that the bandits here should not have the courage to attack military vehicles, not to mention that the sky is full of parrots patrolling, if something really happens, he only needs to survive the initial period of time, and reinforcements will arrive soon.
As for the strength of the bandits here, Kevin really didn't pay much attention to it. The chopping axe is shorter, and it must be at a disadvantage when fighting with the standard long sword, and now Kevin's sidearm is no longer a training commodity for recruits, but a standard configuration of the Thunder Knights.
As one of the three major knights, even the standard configuration is superior to other ordinary troops. Of course, if Kevin encounters a bandit, he will never be as cruel as the general's guard, if possible, Kevin is still willing to focus on arrest, if not, Kevin can't do it.
But fortunately, there was nothing wrong along the way, maybe the bandits' vitality was greatly damaged, and it was possible that they could not even form a gang. Generally, if there are three or five hundred bandits in the country, it is already a large scale, not that there are regulations and restrictions, but no matter how large the scale is, it will be difficult to feed. It is already difficult to feed more mouths by robbery alone, unless it can be strong enough to enter the village or even the city to rob, which means that it is impossible to face off with the regular army at present.
Kevin and the general's guards slaughtered the bandits twice, the first time they slaughtered sixty or seventy people, and the second time they slaughtered more than thirty people, totaling more than a hundred people. Even if it is a veteran bandit group, this injury has already broken the muscles and bones. What's more, it is generally sent out to rob relatively strong combatants, and it will be very difficult to replenish the losses.
Speaking of which, Kevin can't quite understand, what kind of thief is he in this prosperous world? You can eat anything you can eat if you go to a tavern and tell pornographic jokes, but you still need to be a thief? It's a joke.
On the way back, only the crow was always in company, and from time to time one flew on the roof of the catapult, sometimes two. It is estimated that it is because of the nearby corpses, which attracts many crows to stay. Kevin couldn't recognize which one of them was, but he had seen too much and wanted to catch two of them. Kevin is relatively more fond of intelligent animals, and when he heard the general say that crows are more intelligent than parrots, he can't help but feel a little excited.
And crows are everywhere, they are not rare, and they are more in line with their identity as poor soldiers, and they are not too difficult to get. If it can really be domesticated, Kevin even thinks about letting the crow grab the stone bullet, and then the catapult throws it with the crow with the stone bullet, and the crow in the air waves its wings to correct the path of the stone bullet and let go of its claws before it is about to hit. In this way, the accuracy is inevitably higher, and there may not be a need for expensive sclerosing arrays.
Of course, the premise is that the crow's intelligence can really be domesticated to such an extent, and if its wings are really capable of changing the trajectory of stone bullets. It's a pity that the general is reluctant to give Kevin a military parrot, otherwise, this task can let the parrot try it first. Of course, this is only a conjecture at the moment.
All the way back to the barracks, another three days. After a day of rest in the barracks, Kevin went out on his own again. Kevin has completed one of the mercenary tasks set by the general, and there is one left. There are about 20 days left before the end of the deadline, and the time seems to be enough, but it also depends on what task, and Kevin alone is not optimistic.
However, after a week, the tasks here are basically cleaned up. The combat effectiveness of the Thunder Knights can be seen, and when Kevin returned to the barracks, he also heard that many brigades even received more than ten tasks in the first round. Although the general stipulates that there are at least eight, he does not specify what the upper limit is. All the funds for this mission were poured into their own pockets, and many soldiers were also very enthusiastic.
As a result, not to mention the backlog of three months, even if there is a backlog of two months, and then taking on the task, it is equivalent to robbing the local mercenary group, which is obviously unreasonable.
Kevin was helpless, and he hesitated for a moment to change the main city. Although the general gave a clear order that he was allowed to leave the barracks, he was not allowed to leave the city. But the mission, the first mission has already left the city, and most of the time it will be fine.
The teleportation array flashed with white light, and Kevin had already arrived in Moseye City. This is the border city that Kevin looked forward to when he was a recruit, and it is also a city where mercenaries are concentrated, and Kevin is also familiar with it, so he naturally chooses this place for taking on tasks.
Although the border cities are a little chaotic, they are still much more orderly than the Leibozier countries. It is said that the two mercenary groups of Zijin and Menghui are still not pleasing to the eye, and fights occur from time to time, of course, Kevin feels that this has nothing to do with him.
"Huh, which one just passed, how does it feel like the one who pinched our regiment leader's ass?"
Kevin: "......" ignored it and continued on his way.
"Wait!" someone called from behind, "Sir, please wait a minute. ”
Kevin was helpless, and turned to face the two mercenaries: "Call me?"
"Ahem, hello sir, may I ask what your name is?" the mercenary looked polite.
Kevin thought in his mind, it was clear that these two were not sure who they were, but the other party must have already investigated who was the person who pinched their leader's ass, and saying their names might cause unnecessary trouble.
"My name is Sain, a member of the Knights of Thunder. Kevin replied casually, he had impersonated him once before anyway.
"Oh, sorry to bother. The two mercenaries looked at each other suspiciously, and could only turn around.
Kevin continued to walk forward, and suddenly someone next to him shouted, "Hey, isn't this Kevin? ha!"
Kevin was sweating profusely, his face was a little stiff, and it was obvious that the two mercenaries behind him had not gone far just now. Kevin pretended to be casual and moved on.
"Huh, why don't you ignore people?" a female dwarf on the side jumped over, carrying a heavy sword at her waist, it was really Locke Locke who had met before, dreaming of returning to a member of the mercenary group.
Kevin turned his head in surprise: "Are you calling me?"
"Huh?" Locke couldn't help but be stunned.
"You've mistaken someone. Kevin's face didn't change and he continued to walk all the way.
Locklock shook his head, as if he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, and could only shake his head and leave. The two purple gold mercenaries behind them watched the whole process, and they couldn't help but whisper at this time.
Kevin didn't care too much and kept going. However, I already regretted it in my heart, and I just blurted out that I was Sain, which was actually a mistake. Because of the recruit drill at that time, Sain and himself were playing on the field, and many people saw it, and many mercenary captains were also present to watch. And Sain, like himself, is one of the many mercenary groups that are investigating.
The difference is only that Kevin pinched someone else's buttocks, while Sain stood on the side and pinched other people's other places, as long as he had the heart, he could actually still recognize who Sain was. This is not the country of Leibozier, and no one can investigate it casually. Kevin already regretted his mistake in opening his mouth.
But on second thought, Kevin really didn't believe that these mercenaries dared to do anything out of the ordinary. Kevin is a proper regular army officer, and even if he is alone, he is not very afraid.
All the way to the mercenary branch, Kevin deliberately picked a branch library that dreamed of returning to the mercenary group's sphere of influence, and pushed the door into the house.
"Yo, isn't this Kevin?" Kevin was instantly recognized in the tavern, but everyone was very friendly, as if they were old friends.
Kevin was a little dazed, he just chatted with Locklock, how did he feel that the whole group of the Dream Back Mercenary Group was very enthusiastic about him?
"Hey, why don't you remember?" one of the mercenaries stood up, "and you pinched my ass." ”
Kevin: "Uh...... Is it?" Kevin pinched his ass at the time, and it was true that both mercenary groups pinched it, but the leader of the dream mercenary group was a woman, so he was able to escape. And the head of Qianjue was the first person to be pinched, and there were even some heavy-tasting versions that were passed on to the country of Leibozier.
Of course he doesn't remember, how can he remember after pinching so much. Someone on the side teased, "Unless you take off your pants, he will pinch it again, and he may be able to recognize you from the feel." Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha!" the mercenaries laughed, seemingly not ashamed at all.
Kevin could only say hello: "At that time, I was also carrying out the order, I hope you don't mind." ”
"It's nothing," the mercenaries were very arrogant, "we're all big bosses, just pinch it." As long as our regimental commander is okay, I don't want some regimental commanders to ...... Hahahaha!"
Kevin is embarrassed, this group of people is really trying to suppress their opponents and spare no effort. Even in the smallest place, you have to laugh at your opponent to your heart's content.
As he spoke, Locklock came in through the door: "And you say I recognized the wrong person? ”
"Uh...... Just after the two Zijin people, I was a little worried that there would be trouble. Kevin can only tell the truth.
"Hahaha......" The result caused a burst of ridicule from the mercenaries, "What are you afraid of? Zijin's people are useless, and they are beaten casually by us." ”
"It's all right," said Locke on the side, too, "if you have any problems, we can help you." ”
"This ...... I'm a little tired. Kevin replied.
"Oh, it's okay, we're going to win over all those who the enemy hates, and we're going to make enemies all those who are friendly and courtesy. Locke said something as if it were their course of action.
Kevin was slightly surprised, feeling that there was something wrong with this, but he didn't say much. I walked up to the front desk and asked the counter lady, "Give me a three-month backlog of tasks." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the mercenaries quieted down, and their faces were already a little embarrassed. What if Kevin immediately asked them to help with the three-month backlog of tasks? Thinking of the difficulty, the mercenaries sat down again and pretended to drink.
The counter lady took out a bunch of tasks for Kevin to choose, and Kevin picked one task after another, trying to find one that one person could complete. Finally, he found another "Vicious Forest Chimpanzee Investigation Mission".
Kevin couldn't help but be stunned, the tasks he did when he was a recruit were not strictly speaking. At that time, I made a bunch of things, but in the end, it was just for everyone's hard work, which was just a hard fee.
At that time, this task was still called "The Shame of Dreaming Back to the Mercenary Group", after all, the earliest Dream Back Mercenary Group was not completed. Since Kevin, the name of this quest has been changed to the original name.
Kevin took it out and looked at the mission conditions carefully, basically the same as last time, only this time, only this time, only the escort Professor Rook was needed.
Kevin didn't hesitate any longer, the conditions of the Fierce Poison Forest were harsh, and most people didn't want to go, but if he only needed to protect one person this time, Kevin felt that he could do it alone. The three-month backlog of tasks can't be easy, and it's not bad to be able to find a viable one.
What's more, the client is the vice president of Wang Li College, and he usually has no chance to contact such high-level figures, if he can get more familiar with it, he may be able to help a lot in the future.
"I'll take this. Kevin immediately went through the formalities, and he was not ambiguous.
A bunch of mercenaries on the side bowed their heads and drank, and even Locklock shrank inside, and a dwarf shrank into the tavern, which was really not easy to find. Kevin just smiled, of course he didn't really want them to help, there was a three-month backlog of tasks, if they wanted to help, they would have done it themselves.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Kevin waved his hand and walked straight out of the branch. A group of dreamers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Locklock wiped his sweat in the corner: "It's so dangerous, I almost thought I was going to feed the mosquitoes with him." ”
Kevin acted quickly, and immediately went straight to the capital, and went to the Royal Academy to find Professor Luke, the vice principal. The convenience of teleportation in these years is really indelible, from Saka City to Mosye City, and then to the capital, it is only one morning, if it was before, the road time must be ten days and half a month.
Professor Rook is also an acquaintance, and he was also led by Kevin last time when he escorted him, but now he is a little surprised to see that it is Kevin again. Immediately, it was the same old rule that Kevin stayed at Wang Li College for one night and set off the next day.
Kevin was wandering around the academy alone, and he was no longer a recruit, and there was no commander to restrain him. Kevin unceremoniously ran around with his pockets in his pockets.
The academy was still in class time, and Kevin was thick-skinned and stood directly outside the classroom, standing and listening for a while if he was interested. In one classroom, students were discussing how to build a 30-meter long knife, because there is a giant staff, but how can you do it without a giant broadsword?
Every innovative idea may start out as ridiculous, and Kevin is intrigued as the academies discuss how to use the 30-meter long knife and how to build it. But unfortunately, only halfway through listening, the students found Kevin and went out to drive Kevin away.
In addition, Kevin really wanted to go to the library of Wang Li College, but unfortunately he was not allowed to enter. In other places, you are stopped when you walk directly to the door of the building, and it is clear that the inside is an important place.
After wandering around the academy for a while, I had no choice but to go back to the dormitory to rest, and then wait at the door early the next day. Professor Rook quickly walked up with a suitcase.
Kevin greeted politely: "Professor, morning." ”
"Morning. The professor replied casually.
"Why are you alone this time, Professor?" asked Kevin casually.
"Alas, the last time I fought and killed, I was scared, so I had to go on it. The professor smiled wryly and then asked Kevin, "What about you? Why are you alone?"
Kevin was helpless: "I can't call anyone, so I can only come." ”
